Ragi Koozh (Finger Millet Flour)

Ragi Koozh
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Ragi Koozh (Finger Millet Porridge), a popular and habitual porridge in Tamilnadu, especially in villages. Farmers work hard from early in the morning and for lunch they used to have this ragi porridge which will help them with more energy. Every millet is so nutritious, likewise ragi (fingermillet) is also one of the nutrition rich millet. Any millets, since they are packed with more nutritions will take little more time to digest than the cooked rice and in-turn makes the farmers feel full stomach for rest of their hard work.  If you are in Tamil Nadu during summer, you might have noticed the road side vendors selling Koozh with colourful side dishes. Yes, as most of you know Ragi Koozh is a perfect cooling drink and its very good for the health. I know in many families they substitute koozh for the breakfast. The Koozh can be topped with pickle, sundai kai vatral, vadam, onion, etc.. Believe me.. it tastes divine.

Method :The day before preparation (Dough preparation and Fermentation)

 

  • Mix Ragi Flour with cooked rice and salt. Add water to make idly batter consistency. Mix well so that there are no lumps.
  • Keep this mixture aside for 3-4 hours for Fermentation.
  • After 3-4 hours, heat the heavy bottomed pan. Measure the Ragi Mix and add same amount of water in the pan.
  • When the water starts boiling add the Ragi Mixture. Cook the mixture in the medium flame for about 15mins – 20 mins. Make sure that you stir continuously to avoid burning. In 15-20 mins it will become thick batter consistency.
  • Switch off the flame and close the pan. Keep it overnight for fermentation. It increases nutritional benefits and taste.

Next Day – Make a Koozh:

  • For 1 cup of Koozh, add 3/4 cup of dough (that you prepared yesterday and kept for fermentation) and add 1/4 up of butter milk/curd. If required add water.
  • Mix well.
  • Serve with Vathal / Vadaam / Pickle / chopped onion.

Note : Instead of adding the cooked rice, you can also add the raw rice in the boiling water before adding the ragi mix. When ragi is cooked, the rice will also be cooked.

You have to read it as : to make 1 cup of koozh, add 1/4 buttermilk to 3/4th of pre-prepared batter (dough)

I hope I'm right mami?

Hi Aunty,

Thank you for such a nice good receipe. Please clarify some of my doubts
1. Shall we add rice power ( Arisi mavoo ) instead of cooked rice
2. Or shall we add Oats/wheat rawa ( kothumai ravai)/wheat flour instead of cooked rice.
3. Is there any method we can use all powders ( ragi,rice)and some easy way to make like ready mix podi's (if possible… sorry .. idhu konjam kastam than but one try)

Hi Mammi

I love your recipes very much. Thank you for sharing such wonderful recipes.
Shall I use pressure cooker instead of pan for cooking Ragi koozh.
If yes can you let me know how to cook and will it be tasty?

Best Regards
Gayathri, M

Hello Sowmya: Thank you for your recipe. Will not adding the salt ahead interfere with the fermentation process? I was under the impression that it has to be put in just before eating the final dish. Thanks, Dido.

If you are in cold region where fermentation takes longer time then you can add salt later as adding salt slows the fermentation
